Consumers may not need to be concerned with any NVIDIA graphics brand other than GeForce, but there are plenty of professional designers and businesses that buy the Quadro series. Same with the Tesla on the supercomputing front.

It just so happens that the next generation of Quadro graphics cards, known as the Quadro Kx2 series, has been exposed. Not by a press release, but by the compatibility list of the latest driver.

The people at Laptopvideo2go were the ones who found the new drivers, but further digging by VideoCardz netted the complete list of upcoming professional adapters.

All of them are powered by the GK104/GK110 Kepler graphics processing units, or the GM107 GPU Maxwell (the one that powers the GeForce GTX 750 / GTX 750 Ti adapters). Five of the cards are for desktops, but there is a laptop discrete GPU as well.

The desktop video boards are the following:

NVIDIA_DEV.0FF3 = NVIDIA Quadro K420 (GK107)

NVIDIA_DEV.13BB = NVIDIA Quadro K620 (GM107)
NVIDIA_DEV.13BA = NVIDIA Quadro K2200 (GM107)
NVIDIA_DEV.11B4 = NVIDIA Quadro K4200 (GK104)
NVIDIA_DEV.103C = NVIDIA Quadro K5200 (GK110)

The laptop card:

NVIDIA_DEV.13B3 = NVIDIA Quadro K2200M (GM107)

The GM204 GPU continues to elude us, which is unsurprising. The GeForce GTX 880 will probably precede any professional applications.
